Built around Moto Guzzi's sport motorcycle platform, the 2006 Moto Guzzi MGS-01 Corsa pairs a 1225 cc (74.8 cu in) air-cooled v2, four-stroke architecture with road-focused gearing. In factory specification, peak output is rated at 122 HP (89.1 kW) at 8,000 rpm while maximum torque reaches 112.8 Nm (83.2 lb-ft) at 6,400 rpm, transferring power to the rear wheel through chain final drive. With a specific output of 99.6 HP per liter and a 1,600 rpm working window between peak torque (6,400 rpm) and peak power (8,000 rpm), the engine character is reflecting a performance-oriented street tune that balances strong mid-range pull with an energetic top-end rush.
On the scales, the MGS-01 Corsa measures 191.9 kg (423 lbs) dry, translating to a power-to-weight ratio of 0.64 HP/kg (1.57 kg per horsepower). Rider ergonomics and chassis geometry center around a 820 mm (32.3 in) seat height — resulting in a taller command-style riding posture suited to medium-to-tall inseams, combined with a 1,422 mm (56 in) wheelbase engineered for balanced agility and highway composure. The 17.97-liter (4.7 US gal) fuel tank supports practical everyday commuting and weekend road stints.

Torque
Torque is useful for judging real-world pull, especially for touring, commuting and loaded riding.
Seat Height
Check the seat height against your inseam and riding posture before choosing a motorcycle.
Weight
Compare weight carefully because it affects low-speed handling, parking and confidence.
Fuel Capacity
Fuel capacity helps estimate touring range and how often you may need to stop.
Brakes
Brake setup is worth comparing if you ride in traffic, mountains or with a passenger.
Suspension
Suspension details can matter for comfort, road feel and long-distance riding.
